Home pickup
The family's tempo traveller pulls up at 5:30 am. If you travel in December or January, wrap the children up: Mysore has recorded a low of 7.7 C in that season, and the first hour of the drive is chilly. Suitcases go in the back; snacks and water stay at the seats. Meghamalai is a long way, about nine hours with halts, and many families prefer to sleep at Palani and climb fresh the next day. The road leaves by Nanjangud and runs south to Chamarajanagar.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is breakfast, about 60 km into the day. A family of a dozen fits round one table in the larger hotels, and the driver keeps the van at the door. Silk is the traditional trade of this district, as of Kollegal next door, and for a picnic on some other weekend the Suvarnavathi reservoir lies roughly 16 km from town. Every child should visit the restroom before boarding, since the van then enters the Hasanur forest and drops down to Bannari without a halt.
Tea in Tamil Nadu
The children may have spotted deer or an elephant in the forest; this is the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, where about 80 tigers were recorded in 2018. Sathyamangalam town is the tea halt, twenty minutes for tea, biscuits and the restroom. The town sits on the Bhavani, and the green paddy along the river is a relief after the dry forest. Coimbatore, the lunch city, is about an hour and a bit on NH948.
Lunch
Lunch in Coimbatore. Appam and paniyaram are easy wins with children, and the meals hotels serve idli and dosa at any hour. Keep about 45 minutes. If anyone in the family wants a wet grinder, this is the city that makes most of India's, and one fits behind the last row on the way home. After lunch the van takes NH83 east to Palani, about 105 km of plains, a good time for the children to nap.
Palani tea
Palani is the afternoon halt, at the foot of the hill with the Murugan temple on top. About 670 steps climb the hill beside a wide elephant path, and a winch and a rope car carry those who cannot walk, but a full visit takes a couple of hours, so families usually save it for the return or stay the night here. For now, 30 minutes for tea and a tin of panchamirtham. Theni is about 90 km further.
Valley town
Theni sits in a hot valley at the foot of the Western Ghats, and the rocky hills behind the coconut palms are the first sign of the climb. Twenty minutes for tea and the restroom. The Vaigai dam, about 111 ft high, is near Andipatti, and the Pennycuick memorial for the man who built the Mullaperiyar dam is at Lower Camp, both for another day. From Theni the van goes to Chinnamanur and then up the Meghamalai road.
Estate stay
Meghamalai, at about 1,500 m, is estates and forest, not a town. Stays on top are forest lodges and panchayat rest houses, so they must be booked early, and some families stay in Theni or Chinnamanur and come up for the day. The van drops you at the lodge; tell us its name before the trip so we check the road. Six dams dot the hills, and Manalar dam looks down on the Cumbum valley. Nights are cold, so pack woollens.
Looking for a Mysore to Meghamalai tempo traveller for a family trip to the quiet tea hills? Meghamalai: the van picks you up at home or Mysuru Junction, stops a night at Palani for darshan and climbs the ghat by day. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

The Mysore to Meghamalai distance is about 455 km one way and about 910 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Palani and Theni, and climbs from Chinnamanur. Plan about 10.5 to 11 hours with halts, or split the drive with a night in Palani.
Very few. Carry snacks and water from Theni.
Yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes, for Meghamalai with parking, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST.
The 12 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Only if the Meghamalai drive goes on after 10 pm.
Thai Poosam, on the full moon of the Tamil month Thai in January or February, is Palani's biggest festival, and pilgrims walk in barefoot from far towns, so the roads into Palani are packed for days. If your Meghamalai trip falls then, we route the van to avoid the town centre and do not plan a night halt there.
Pack for two climates. hot plains on the way, with Theni near 39.5 C in summer, and cold nights at about 1,500 m on top. Soft bags fit best behind the last row. There are hardly any shops on the hill, so carry snacks, medicines, torches and power banks. A light rain jacket helps in any month in the estates.
